June 25, 2007: Sparky Music

This YouTube video bills itself as "Theme from Tetris* played on a Solid State Musical Tesla Coil built by Joe DiPrima and Oliver Greaves and the Austin, TX Chapter of The Geek Group."

The second thing that's neat is that I learned about this via e-mail from Marcus L. Rowland, in London. Despite the fact that it was created here in Austin. And we take this kind of instant worldwide communication for granted now. That's even cooler than sparky music.- Steve Jackson

* Academic geek note: Tetris has had a number of different "themes." They are playing the music most commonly identified with the game: the Russian folk song Korobeiniki.
